No. 108.
Mr. Hoffman to Mr. Fish.

No. 36.]

Sir: Referring to your dispatch No. 845, I have the honor to inform you that Winslow was committed for extradition on the 3d instant, on the several charges of forgery, and on the several charges of uttering forged paper, as set forth in the indictment. Colonel Chesebrough, who has had this matter in charge, has taken great pains to see that the mistake made by the solicitor employed in the Lawrence case should not be repeated.

In this connection I have to acknowledge your telegram of yesterday, and to say that I shall at once address a note to Lord Derby in pursuance of your instructions.

I have, &c.,

WICKHAM HOFFMAN.
